When you can't speak
Until the wind speaks up
Only mute can answer it
But no matter how hard he is
Rain can bring it down
Although not the blink of an eye

Lintang Pradipta

"Lintangg ..."
The owner of the voice shocked Lintang even more. Then the dream was still vivid in his mind. A dream he never expected. He really wondered how he could have dreamed of such a thing. Even though it has nothing to do with his life.
"you're awake?"
Apparently the owner of the voice was Daffa. He came to Lintang's room at this time. And even it's almost morning but he's still awake.
"the question is wrong, should be 'why wake up?' I see .. "Daffa said that with a tone a little annoyed and furious to myself.
"What's wrong?" Lintang is always confused by his friends.
"Yes because you screamed la. I'm surprised to know." Daffa is getting more and more exasperated by the super fake Latitude innocence.
"when did I scream?" said Lintang in a tone as innocent as a white cloth like a shroud.
"DEFINITELY LINTANG, WHEN ADAM DIDN'T DOWN TO EARTH ..."
"No need to hurry up and scream at times. I'm not reluctant." said Lintang with slightly narrowed eyes.
Not long after that, Vincent joined them. Daffa instead left there because she was still gripped by sleepiness which made her yawn constantly.
"You guys are really noisy, even at night screaming. Do you not know what time it is, huh ?!" said Vincent in an annoyed tone.
There was no answer from the two friends. Daffa chose to go from there. Meanwhile, Lintang returned to pulling the blanket and drowned his head there.
"It's really hard if you don't have friends at all ..."
Vincent infuriated himself with the behavior of his two friends. Because in fact ignoring it is even more painful. And instead of Vincent constantly in that place but it is unclear his purpose he chose to return to his dream world.
*****
It was raining quite hard. Clouds seem to still bear such a heavy burden. Looks like the rain will last long today. And the girl is still loyal to accompany the rain which ends sometime. Even though his whole body was covered by rainwater that seeped in every garment he wore.
Actually there are no memories of rain. The rain only helped him disguise every tear that fell, releasing every wound that was there. Because only the rain is able to understand whoever is sad under it. They seem to understand the feelings that are in their chest. Even though no one spoke to him.
"You shouldn't wet your body with the first rainwater. Make you remember all the old memories and wounds."
The man's voice sounded from behind the girl's body. He came with a barrage of words and an umbrella that sheltered him from the pouring rain. And now the umbrella had sheltered the girl from the rain. The man spoke as if he knew what the girl was feeling. And the fact is that what the man said is true. That girl shouldn't be raining and thinking about the past that is so gloomy to remember. Rain is indeed synonymous with memories.
The first rain has the ability to hypnotize humans, namely by resonating memories of the past. Although it cannot be proven scientifically, scientists believe that in the rain there is a song that only those who are longing can hear. Yes he said so.
The girl turned around and tried to see who the owner of the voice was. At first the girl saw the owner of the voice faintly due to the effect of the rain water entering her eyes. But over time ...
"you ..."
When she saw the face of the man behind her, the girl was even surprised by the owner of the voice. Even though at first he was stunned by his words that seemed to hit his guts. Now the girl was even annoyed and for a moment felt like swearing at the man.
"Don't be kind," the girl said loudly to the man.
"I'm fine"
Lintang is always confident in front of annoying people like that girl. That man is Lintang. Earlier he accidentally passed that road and there happened to be a poor girl who chose the rain, so he stopped and tried to provide shade for a moment. Even though he was actually reluctant to do that. After all, what that girl was doing was stupid. Rain and rain because of something that is not clear. If it was because playing raindrops to commemorate childhood, it might be understandable than this kind of thing that made Lintang stare cynically at the woman in front of him.
"the rain like this makes you look like a fool and will only make you sick." Lintang tries to give advice that may not seem like he is advising.
"SHUT YOU ..."
The girl even mended not Latitude. Ignoring Lintang's previous utterances.
"you stupid girl," said Lintang.
"hey my name is Avisa Fortuna, not a stupid girl !!."
That girl is indeed Avisa. A girl with a figure that Lintang found really annoying from the first time he met. To be exact, very, very annoying. Which person is not upset if he is thrown out of a place that feels really comfortable and also peaceful? Certainly not. That's why Lintang was annoyed with the girl.
Seeing the girl in the rain with sad eyes made Lintang feel sad too. He felt sorry for himself. Even in this situation he was still annoying.
"I don't care"
Lintang immediately grabbed the girl's hand and took her to a place without telling her. Initially the girl refused Lintang's invitation. He continued to struggle and tried to get away from Lintang. But once she found out that the man was taking her to a safe place she could only surrender.
"sit down and wait a minutes" said Lintang.
Within 5 minutes Lintang returned with 2 cups of coffee, the steam was still steaming in the air. Without a word Lintang immediately put the drink right at the table in front of the girl.
At first the girl was confused why the man would do this for her. Even though he did not know who this man was in front of him. From his face he does look like a good man. Even his face was quite handsome. It would be a lie if she said that the man was ugly. And the girl also had time to look at the man for a few moments. Until she didn't realize that even that man was currently looking at her with a frown on her forehead.
"why? Handsome?"
"PD really ..." the girl immediately looked away from the man. Her cheeks were red as a fresh tomato asked to be eaten. While looking away he could only curse himself inwardly. She was so stupid that she looked at the man. It will be a misunderstanding. Actually tucked in there anxious. But what I was staring at was just chuckling at the girl's expression.
"What are you laughing at?"
"What is he doing?"
"why even ask" Avisa did not want to lose to him.
"why ask back?"
"why not answer?"
"what was answered?"
"why is it so ribed"
"who makes ribed?"
There was silence for a moment until finally laughter enveloped the two of them. They feel ridiculous about that. In fact, they were so excited to laugh that they didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes watching with a sad and happy look. There were no words to say other than staring at him from afar. Yes, from afar.
